It’s Happening: House Democrats Schedule a Vote to Start Impeaching President Trump
Townhall ^ | 07/17/2019 | Katie Pavlich

House Democrats have officially pushed Speaker Nancy Pelosi to schedule a vote considering articles of impeachment for President Trump. The vote will take place Wednesday and is being spearheaded by Texas Democrat Al Green.

Green is no stranger to articles of impeachment for President Trump and has introduced them multiple times on the House floor. They’ve never received a vote. Last night he did it again, leading to a full House vote later today.

Green's latest move came after the House voted to condemn President Trump for tweets about leftist Congresswomen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley and Rashida Tlaib.

For months, Speaker Pelosi has desperately tried to slow down the momentum for impeachment, which is politically unpopular with voting demographics Democrats need to win or hold onto.

Given the statements made by the “squad’s” during a press conference earlier this week and during and interview with CBS News Wednesday morning, there are rough seas ahead.

They weighed this strategy against beating him in the election and chose this. Clearly they don’t know how to play chess, even one move ahead.

RE: Funny, because I thought they hated Pence more than Trump. But they’ll get Pence as president.

And they’ll impeach him too and if that happens before the 2020 elections, guess who will be President? PELOSI !!

Not if Pence names Trump as his VP in the unlikely event that the swamp removes him.

The FISA investigation and Epstein thing has these traitors backs to the wall. They are fighting to no avail. What DOJ and POTUS has on them will kill them all. This feckless act is what Trump wants so he every I dotted and T crossed. Will make the treason charges easy to convict them on.

Hey, I like that. Pence names Trump as his VP and then promptly steps down. :)

I bet they have the votes in the Senate too. I would like to be very, very wrong about that.

I didn’t know that an America first American winning against a Globalist was grounds for impeachment...

Me too. This is GREAT

People’s 401ks and salaries and job opportunities are exploding and dems want to impeach him.

They’re really in tune with what folks want.

What you don't want to trade medical treatment on demand for a 4 month waiting period (given of course you are under 50 and "treatable").

The problem is the Constitution mentions High Crimes and MISDEMEANOR as grounds for impeachment.

It is the MISDEMEANOR part where the meaning becomes elastic. It can mean anything to whoever controls Congress and in this case, Congress is controlled by Democrats.

Misdemeanor can cover allegations of misconduct by officials, such as perjury of oath, abuse of authority, bribery, intimidation, misuse of assets, failure to supervise, dereliction of duty, unbecoming conduct, refusal to obey a lawful order, chronic intoxication, and tax evasion.

The Dems are going to get Trump based on:

Abuse of Authority
Intimidation
Unbecoming Conduct and
refusal to Obey a lawful order
